Did you remove all the old paint from the caliper before painting it?

I had purchased some vinyl "PORSCHE" decals from xenonmods.com ($7.99 incl shipping). They're just slightly too large for the caliper, but close enough. I applied the decals and then shot them with a few coats of clear. Let dry and then re-installed.
That's the whole thing. I don't know how well the decals will hold up, but should find out at SITM.

Just rec'd my hood liner and crest....the answer is probably obvious, but which side is glued to the hood.....foamy side i expect although i kind of like the look of the open foam as opposed to the smooth surface...i guess mounting the porsche crest would be tough on the rough side

Yes, you can have either side exposed, but the closed side is the better choice if you're installining the Porsche logo.
